SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,483, dated June 28, 1881;

Application filed April 30, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, J. A. AKINS and G. T. ELMORE, citizens of the United States, residing respectively at Trezevant, Carroll county, Tennessee, and Harniontown,La Fayette county, Mississippi,haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Uhuru-Motors; and We do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ot' the invention,

Io such as will enable others skilled in the art to ywhich it appertains to make and use the saine, .reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, and to the letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this r 5 specification.

This invention has for its object to furnish a simple, etcient, and durable machine for opcratin g the dash-rod ot a churn, and it consists in the construction and arrangement of 2o devices, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed. Y

In the annexed drawings, VFigure l is a side view, partly in section 5 and Fig. 2 is a top plan.

The frame A ot the machine affords a bearing for the shat't of the driving-wheel B, which is provided with a crank, a, and is connected by the belt b with a pulley, C, that isjournaled at the opposite end of the frame. On the saine shaft with the pulley C is a lily-wheel, D.

3o Between the wheel B and pulley U is ar ranged an idler, c, that is journaled in suitable bearings in auadjustable frame, E, whichis attached to the frame A by means of a pin, d, passing through an aperture or slot, e, in the frames A E. The frame E is provided with several of these apertures,one above the other, so that it may be attached to the frame A at any desired height, and so that the idlercmay Abe journaled at the required point to regulate 4o the tension of the belt b.

At the forward end ot' the frame A, opposite the fly-wheel D, is a standard, F, the upper part of which is provided with guides ff, that form a slot or groove for the reception of the vertically-sliding bar G. This bar is provided with several perforations, g g, for the attaehment ot' a pin, inserted in either, and to which is secured the upper end of the dash-rod h, which is connected below with the dash h in the churn H. To the same pin is also pivoted 5o a connecting-rod, t', which is attached at its other end to a crank,j, on the pulley C.

It will thus be seen that when power is cornmunicated to the pulley C by Ineans of its belt- Connect-ion with the drivin gwheel B the crank 5 5 j and connecting-rod t', by operating the vertically-sliding bar G, will cause the dash-rod lt to reciprocatein a perfectly vertical position. The length ot' stroke may be readily varied, as required, by changing the point at which the 6o dash-rod and connecting-rod are attached to the sliding bar G, and theidlercbeing properly adjusted, the machine maybe operated with satisfactory results by the expenditure ot' but little power.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination of the frame A, standard F, having guides ff, sliding bar G, having 7o perforations g, pulley C, crank t', connectingrod j, and dash-rod h, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the frame A and grooved standard F,of the adjustable frame E, carrying idler c, the wheel B, pulley C, belt b, crankt, connecting-rod j, sliding bar G, and dash-rod h, substantially as shown and described.

ln testimony whereof We afx our signatures in presence ot' two witnesses. v
